It is hard to believe that in less than two weeks I will be back in beloved Uganda. I consider it such a joy and priveledge to travel across the world once again to share love, and to be loved by some of God’s most precious children. I simply cannot wait to meet the children at Blessed Hope Orphanage and build them some new beds.

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has once again supported me through this process through your prayers and your financial support. The people of Uganda have a special place in my heart, and I hope that God has a lot more in store for my journey involving this incredible place. I hope that it won’t be too far along before Abby and I are packing Gideon and Abel’s bags and bringing them alongside us as we step outside our own little world and into the lives of our brothers and sisters thousands of miles away.

It is so easy to find yourself believing that the life you lead, and the little world that we all live in is “the” world for everyone. We substitute our little bubble for the world at large, and lose our convictions and slip back into issues of entitlement of self pity. I am so excited to blow my bubble up once again, in hopes of never returning! My bags are not yet packed, but my  passion, conviction, love, patience, energy and humility are in my carry-on, so I think I am ready to go.

I am excited to share about all that God does in and through our Sweet Sleep team while we are in Kampala. I am excited to share stories and pictures upon our return, and can’t wait to hold those beautiful little orphan children in my arms and in my heart.
